Actually, hang on, you have a Thief 2 install, but your Thief 2 filter button is not checked, that means you're hiding all Thief 2 FMs. Uncheck the other game buttons and you should see FMs in the list, hopefully.

Thank you for your patience, yes now I see list of missions but only 1 mission listed but I have 5 missions on desktop.

Click the "Show FMs marked as "unsupported game or non-FM archive"" button on the top bar (icon looks like a zip file) and see if they show up then.

I did, but no, only 1 found

Edit: Actually just noticed again, you have "souls" written in the title filter field. That's going to filter the list to only FMs with "souls" in the name. Gotta remove that too and then you should see the rest.

Yes, true, it works now, all other missions came listed, thank you very much for your help!

This is an odd fringe request, and since I have little to no programming knowledge, I don't know how much of a pain in the ass it is, but is it possible to have the option to path to specific Dromed and MP executables? I keep copies of the directory on a separate drive to work out of as a failsafe to prevent any mishaps to my normal Steam install, and while going to them manually isn't really that big of a deal, I was wondering if it was possible for AL to just call those executables specifically.

Yes and no. It could call out to an arbitrary DromEd executable, but it couldn't pass an FM to it, because AL only knows about FMs from one game location per game. So if your normal Thief 2 folder is C:\Thief2, then your installed FMs for that game will be in C:\Thief2\FMs. If you have C:\Thief2Dromed then your FMs for that one will be in C:\Thief2Dromed\FMs, and AngelLoader won't know about them unless you switched your Thief 2 path in the Settings window.
Now I could allow multiple locations per game, but that would run into all the same problems as the multiple Dark Mod locations that was asked about a little ways back.
That's sort of the downside of a "global" style app, unfortunately. Having said that, it sounds like an interesting thing to prototype at some point even if I'm not sure it could be reliable. So maybe in the future but for now, it's not feasible, sorry. :(

No worries! I wasn't 100% sure what it would look like but I kind of figured trying to call FMs across different directories would cause some issues. Thank you!
